FREEHOLD, N.J. -- A man who tossed his 2-year-old daughter into a creek while she was still strapped into her car seat was convicted Thursday of her murder.

Jurors found Arthur Morgan III guilty of killing Tierra Morgan-Glover, whose body was pulled from a creek in a park near the Jersey shore in November 2011. They also found him guilty of child endangerment and interference with custody.

Prosecutors had said he killed Tierra to get back at her mother for breaking off their engagement. They said he weighed down her pink car seat with a tire jack. Her body was pulled from a creek in a park in Wall Township, about 20 miles from her Lakehurst home, with one tiny black and purple sneaker sticking out of the water.

Morgan could be ordered to spend the rest of his life behind bars when he is sentenced May 28.

Defense lawyers had asked the jury to convict Morgan of reckless manslaughter, which could have seen him freed in as little as five years.

Morgan's state of mind the day of his daughter's death was a key part of the case. In his opening statement, defense attorney Ryan Moriarty indicated Morgan would not deny responsibility for Tierra's death but told jurors their task was to decide "what form of homicide applies to this defendant."

How about tying a millstone around his neck and throwing him into the sea?

Sounds like an analogy for what Obamacare has done to American Healthcare...

“Defense lawyers had asked the jury to convict Morgan of reckless manslaughter, which could have seen him freed in as little as five years.”

Soooo he tossed his child onto a stream, tied to a chair and didn’t realize she would die?

The jury decided it was murder. His lawyers were arguing that it was manslaughter.

He’s not going to be popular with the other inmates. It’s obvious what awaits him once he’s behind bars.

Good. The tire jack should have swung anybody paying attention at all. This was so much deliberate.

It was just post-birth abortion.

Really, the world where killing babies in the womb is commonplace has no justification for outrage at any other crime.

the killer in this case,and thousands of other murderers ought to be executed .

I really have trouible with all the legal distnctions of degrees of murder since the victim is always completely dead.
